So since there are so many ways of dealing with the divide by zero problem in a computer program, the concept of "nullity" isn't really useful to programmers, right?
I wouldn't say its not useful, but maybe not of overriding importance. It'd have some applications in discrete math, which is what computer scientists gravitate towards instead of high level calculus.

I have the feeling that 99.9% of all college professors teaching discrete math would be violently opposed the concept of "nullity".
